Descrizione del lavoro

This role is with one of Dex's trusted partner companies. We work closely with their teams to truly understand their culture, goals, and what they're looking for, so we can match you with the right opportunity and give you context about the role before you commit to a process.

Dex is an AI recruiter agent that helps you run your job search. Tell Dex your stack, seniority, and what you want to build. We will manage your applications and surface other opportunities that are a fit.

The role

One of the world's leading algorithmic market makers in digital assets, trading billions daily across centralized, decentralized, and OTC markets. The firm pairs the latency standards and mathematical rigor of high-frequency trading with the autonomy and speed of a lean, high-growth startup.

You will serve as the technical authority and mini-CTO for the product engineering team, owning architecture and technology choices across client-facing portals, live trading products, and internal tooling. This is not an ivory-tower architect seat or a purely administrative manager track. You will actively guide technical roadmap decisions, mentor full-stack engineers, and design resilient, low-latency streaming systems where poor performance directly impacts execution.

The work

• Act as the ultimate technical authority for client and internal trading platforms, owning architectural direction from system design to production deployment.
• Design and scale real-time, low-latency streaming architectures handling massive data volumes, live pricing feeds, and order execution interfaces.
• Co-own the technical roadmap alongside product and trading leadership, balancing rapid feature iteration with institutional-grade reliability.
• Establish engineering standards across code review, CI/CD, incident response, CDN distribution, and authn/authz security protocols.
• Mentor, hire, and set the performance bar for a team of full-stack, frontend, and backend engineers.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a technical leadership seat owning architecture decisions.
• Proven experience designing and shipping data-intensive, real-time systems such as trading dashboards, live market feeds, or order management systems.
• Deep technical fluency across TypeScript, React, and Node.js, backed by solid backend depth in Node.js, Go, or Python with event-driven architectures, WebSockets, and message queues.
• Rigorous standards around production infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and web application security (OWASP, authn/authz), ideally within trading or fintech.

Why apply through Dex

Senior product engineering seats at premier algorithmic trading firms are rarely surfaced with clear technical context, and navigating these markets cold is noisy. Dex connects you directly to the engineering leadership behind this role with an unvarnished brief on their stack, roadmap, and compensation. You sign up once to bypass the recruiter filters for this seat and comparable technical leadership roles across high-performance finance.
